Driving could soon be a far more pleasant experience thanks to a personal in-car robot being developed by researchers.The robot,which is called "Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA)" will be able to tell you the best route home based on traffic reports,remind you to pick up petrol and suggest places you may like to visit.The robot is intended to be placed on the indication plate in the car and is being developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in co-operation with Volkswagen.

AIDA communicates with the driver through an expressive robot screen and will even appear sympathetic if you're having a bad day.Cynthia Breazeal,director of MIT's Personal Robots Group,said: "We are developing AIDA to read the driver's mood from facial expressions and other clues and respond in a proper way."

AIDA works by analyzing the driver's moving patterns,keeping track of common routes and destinations.The creators say the robot should be able to work out home and work locations within a week of driving.Soon afterwards, the system will direct the driver to his favorite supermarket,suggesting a route that avoids crowded roads.AIDA might recommend a petrol stop on the way if the fuel tank is nearly empty.The robot will also analyze real-time information about traffic jams,the weather report,commercial activities,tourist attractions,and residential areas.

"In developing AIDA,we asked ourselves how we could design a system that would offer the same kind of guidance as an informed and friendly companion."

"AIDA can also give you response on your driving,helping you drive more efficiently and ensure safer driving behavior," Assaf Biderman from SENSEable City Lab added.

1.What is AIDA in this passage?

A. A personal driver. B. A traffic controller.

C. A traffic indicator. D. A smart car robot.

2.What's the most impressive about AIDA according to the passage?

A. It can stay away from traffic jams.

B. It can replace the driver to drive the car.

C. It can interact with the driver.

D. It can help the driver find the way.

3.From the last paragraph we can know that .

A. it's possible to drive a car without any petrol

B. AIDA can help us to become better drivers

C. people can save a lot of energy by driving a car

D. it's much safer to drive with someone else

Dear editor，

I’m sorry to occupy your precious time, and I really want to tell you anything about the problem of some people keeping too many pets nowadays. I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make loud noise that trouble residents a lot. What’s more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is that pets can spread some diseases and this has attracted much attention. Take all these factors into consideration, I sincerely hope that I can get help from you and expect the media do something for this.

Yours truly,

Wang Lin

Both of my parents worked full-time when I was a little girl, so my grandmother would stay at our house during the day. We would watch game shows in the living room. Our favorite was The Price is Right. We would call out our answers along with the contestants.

When I got older and started going to school, we couldn’t watch our game shows regularly. That was okay with me, though, because the one thing I liked better than watching game shows with my grandmother was helping her bake. Watching her in the kitchen was amazing: she never seemed to need the recipes but everything she made tasted delicious.

At first I would just sit in the kitchen and watch, even though I didn’t understand what she was doing. As I got older, she let me help with the easy parts, such as measuring the sugar. The day she let me separate the eggs，I felt like I had found complete pleasure.

At last, my parents decided that I could take care of myself，and my grandmother stopped coming over every day. The love of baking, however, stayed with me. I started baking by myself, and even if the cookies ended up burnt sometimes, more often they turned out pretty well. I tried out new recipes, and whenever I got to a thorny part, I would call my grandmother for advice. Sometimes I would call her just to talk, too. I felt like I could talk to her about anything.

My grandmother passed away ten years ago, but I still think of her every day. Last week, I found a recipe book she made for me. It included her recipes for brownies, cookies, and my favorite, lemon pie. As I looked through the pages, I thought I could hear her voice. She was the one who taught me not just about baking, but about life.

1.The passage is developed in order of .

A. time B. place

C. logic D. events

2.While helping her grandmother bake, the author .

A. missed the game shows

C. showed great interest

A. Basic. B. Common.

C. Difficult. D. Special.

Faison worked in the state of Florida as a lawyer for large companies until 2012, when he moved to Virginia to start a farm business. But now, instead of raising crops, he is raising the earnings of local farmers.

Faison seems at ease with life on a farm. Members of his family have been farming for many years. When his grandparents died, he and his brothers and sisters inherited their farm. He says that began the process of trying to decide what they were going to do with it.

Four years ago, Faison left his job as a lawyer in Miami and returned to the family farm in Virginia. Slowly, he began to learn about the economic issues farmers face.

“A lot of small farmers are struggling. And they’re working very hard, but they’re not able to drive the income from farming to make it economically viable.”

After the meetings, Faison created a company called Milton’s Local，named for his grandfather. Today, his work day is very different from his work as a lawyer.

Milton’s Local sells and transports all-natural meat from local farms to stores and restaurants. Faison says the company helps farmers increase their earnings, supports the local economy and satisfies the buyers of these meat products.

Milton’s Local products have been sold at the Arlington store for more than a yean People like the products, not just because they are natural but because they come from local farms.

1.Why did Faison abandon his job as a lawyer?

A. Because he was tired of being a lawyer.

B. Because he was attempting to do something with their family farm.

C. Because his grandparents asked him to help on their family farm.

2.What problem did Faison find about farmers?

A. Farmers can’t make great profits in farming. B. Farmers can’t spend much on food.

C. Farmers can’t struggle on their farms. D. Farmers can’t feed animals naturally.
